[FAST News] Meet Entries Posted

[Fort Worth Area Swim Team Mailing List]

The entries reports for the June 1-3 meets are now online on our website: 
the A/BB "Rose City" Invitational in Tyler; and the Texas Senior Circuit #2 
meet for our fastest senior swimmers.

Parents, if you did not sign up for the Tyler meet, please note that the 
meet is being capped at 400 swimmers. If they reach their cap, they may not 
allow late entries from swimmers not previously entered. We will do some 
inquiries to see what the situation is if somebody did not sign up on time 
and wasn't entered. The next meet for our A & BB swimmers will be on June 
22-24.

The Senior Circuit meet does allow late entries if you have the qualifying 
times, but the fees are pretty steep ($9 per individual event)

Results from the COPS "BB" meet last weekend as "underway". North Texas 
Swimming does a pretty thorough review to ensure that all swimmers were 
registered with USA Swimming and their name/birthdate/gender/team 
affiliation are correct; plus the swims are reviewed to make sure all DQs 
were recorded, incorrect splits removed, etc. While the meet host has 10 
days to submit results and corrections, North Texas Swimming wants to change 
the written rules to require clean results to be ready consistently in less 
time with (ideally) no mistakes. The COPS "BB" results should be available 
in a few days.

Parents, an "issue" arose at a recent meet with another team and it may be 
time for a reminder. USA Swimming does not allow consumption of alcohol or 
use of other tobacco/tobacco products indoors or outdoors in any area 
designated for swimmers ( pool deck, lockers, spectator seating/standing 
areas, and in all other areas used by the swimmers) either during the meet 
or during the warmups. Let's keep in mind that we're all here to make it 
good clean fun for the kids.
